Julia Mulligan, Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire launched Supporting Victims, a new service for North Yorkshire, to enable victims of crime to cope with the impact of crime and recover from the harm caused.

Supporting Victims in North Yorkshire has been shaped by the first comprehensive Victim Needs Assessment (VNA) for this area, commissioned by Julia Mulligan last year. This found that most of all, victims wanted support to help them get their lives back to normal, along with better and more timely communications from the different parties involved, including NYP.

When you contact Supporting Victims in North Yorkshire we will talk to you about your individual needs and where required we will refer you to one of our commissioned providers which were put in place as a direct result of the Victim Needs Assessment in October 2014.

The commissioned providers we can provide direct access to are described below…
